Bath repair in Austrey, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Austrey
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Repairing versus replacing in Austrey
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Austrey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
